Hi, I have to survey 60 people for a school project and ask 2 questions

Question 1 - If you are skiing park on the east coast for 1 season would you rather the ON3P Jeffery 96 or the Armada ARV 96 and why?


Question 2 - If you are skiing powder on the west coast for 1 season would you rather use a ski from K2 or Armada and why?

1.) Arv 96, on3p's have too much rocker
2.) K2 cuz they're usually heavier and more damp

1. Jeffrey 96 for durability
2. Armada because they have better less floppy choices than k2

No I'm giving you a tip to save the time of copying 120 separate data points. Set up an electronic survey to do it for you

1.) ON3P Jeffery 96. I think I would like the more pronounced rocker on the ON3P's compared to the Armadas.

2.) K2 because I think the reckoner 112 seems like a solid all around fun ski.

1. ARV 96 due to price point
2. Armada due to UL options

yeah i was kidding around, that guy is an idiot (most people here are). anyway..

Question 1 - both are great but i'd go ARV 96

Question 2 - Weird question, they both have a good selection of different skis. I'd say K2 these days though

I'd prefer k2 poacher over both, but arv 96 over on3p for the price.

I already ride JJs for west cost pow so I guess I'd prefer those. I'd love to try reckoner 112s though.

1. Jeffery 96 because I love that ski and itll be in the quiver for a long time as a do anything stick
2. Armada cause everyone rides k2s at my home mountain and the UL versions are nice for touring

1: Jeff’s, they would crush and be fun all the time and are made in the U.S. by skiers

2: Armada, their skis look much more fun yet still can ski. Also like the brand more

Magic J is just such a great design. Stable enough to go fast on, but surfy and easy to break loose in deep pow.

You're totally right about the Reckoner 112

1. Armada mostly because of the profile of the skis
2. tough one but maybe armada again. Wanted to say k2 initially but had a change of heart

Pretty much named my exact setup

1. Jeff 96 because my first skis were the Kartel 98s and I found ON3Ps to be fun and bombproof, so I’d recommend them to any and everyone

2. Armada because those were the first powder skis I bought and have a blast on them. Even though Armada is more corporate than they used to be, they just seem more in touch with newschool skiing than K2 (although K2 is doing great things for skiing I just see Armada as OG

1) Jeffs because I currently use the Arv96 for that purpose and don't love them.

2) Armada because they have some really fun, playful powder shapes.

1. Jeff 96 I like the ARV 96 but it's a bit lacking in fun

2. K2 I've had good experiences with their powder skis and none of the Armada options appeal to me
